This semi-automatic blood pressure monitor is both easy-to-use and ideally suited for daily measurements. The large display includes systolic blood pressure reading, diastolic blood pressure reading and the pulse rate, all clearly shown at the completion of each reading. You can store up to 85 measurements, ideal for users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The 1103 is compact and portable, making it perfect for home use and travel. Blood pressure measurements determined with your 1103 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

The pressure can not be measured due to signal noise. Solution: Please measure again. About Blood Pressure What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure. Why Measure Your Blood Pressure? Among the various health problems afflicting people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk. The pumping pressure is higher than 300 mmHg. Solution: Please measure again. Low battery. Solution: Check and replace the 4 batteries if necessary. 19 4 About Blood Pressure Care & Maintenance Blood Pressure Standard The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. in PULSE/m Do not drop the unit. It’s not shock proof.

(1~85). 15 8 Correct Measuring Posture Measurement Procedures A. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. C. After the cuff pressure reaches the recommended pumping value, allow the unit to release gradually while performing the measurement. Note: The level of your heart is slightly below your armpit. Fig. A Relax your entire body, especially the area between your elbow and fingers. Pumping Note: It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results. B. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm. Results Fig. B C. Turn your palm upwards. Measuring D. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. D. Once the measurements have been displayed, press the air release valve to automatically deflate the cuff. Then press “ON/OFF” button to turn off the unit or it will automatically shut off after 150 seconds. Note: Avoid leaning back or crossing Air Release Valve your legs while the measurement is being taken. (Fig C) ON/OFF Fig. C 9 14 Measurement Procedures Applying the Cuff To start the measurement To apply the cuff Note: In order to get your correct measurement result and, to avoid erroneous measurements, you should be seated quietly.Your arm, hand, and fingers should be still during the measurement procedure. A. Plug the end of the tubing on the cuff into the connector at the base of the monitor. B. Unwrap the arm cuff leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff. y A. You must depress the knob on the inflation bulb to release the air inside the cuff before each measurement. Press the “ON/OFF” button. The display will initially show a flashing “0”. Flashing “0” y Initial Display B. After the “0” stops blinking, start to pump the inflation bulb several times until the reading reaches the recommended pumping value. ( See below). Patient’s Blood Pressure Range Recommended Pumping Value < 150 mmHg 150~179 mmHg 180~209 mmHg >210 mmHg 180 210 or higher 240 or higher 270 or higher C. Remove any clothing that restricts your upper left arm. Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should point in the direction of your hand. Position the artery mark over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) in the upper arm. y y 13 10 Applying the Cuff Helpful Tips D. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 1-2 inches above the inner side of the elbow joint. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff. Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain a more accurate reading. A. Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring. B. Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure. E. If the Index line falls within the OK range indicated at the edge of the cuff, this cuff is suitable for your use. If the Index line falls out of the OK range, you may need a special cuff for measurement. Please contact our service department at 1-800-672-8293 for more information regarding additional cuffs. C. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement. D. It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before a reading. E. Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension. y F. Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement. /m in PULSE G. If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), place it at a warm location for at least one hour before using it. Note: To locate the main artery, press two fingers approximately 1-2 inches above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm. 11 H. Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement. 12
